Getting A Rusty/Scratched Exhaust New Again.. (Idea Exchange)

[solisity]

Elo all.

 

I love my ride and I believe all you folks in this forum love thier rides too.

 

Hence, beings the story... Your ride may be old but the engine is still great. No problems, engine music to your ears & paintwork still strong. You wax and shine your ride whenever you can. However, your exhaust pipes are rusting from the INSIDE out.. Not to mention, a deep nasty scratch on your exhaust.

Pretty much a die-die-lan-lan-jia-lad problem.. :/

 

(I ride an intruder 125 so prices pretty much hang around here.)

 

Ideas:

1) Buy a new pipe $700 (Original)

2) Buy a "pirated" pipe (But inspection how..? :/)

2) Rechrome $400 (Aga-ration)

3) Spray high temp paint (Possible.. But prefer to keep the chrome look)

4) Try and find the parts in a scrap yard (Anyone know where? haha..)

5) Wrap your pipe over with Chromed metal plating (Is this possible?)

6) ...... ?

 

Well these are the ideas I have, any opinions or infromation? Thanks a lot folks..

 

Apart from the above, if anyone has any questions on how to keep your ride shiny, I'll try to answer best I can.
